LG is adding a GameFly streaming app to its webOS-enabled Smart TVs, which will let people stream games on the TV without the need for a console.

The app arrives in April and will work on LG's 2016 Smart TV models featuring webOS 3.0 and 2015 models with webOS 2.0. Just plug in a gamepad—GameFly recommends the Logitech F310, F710, and Xbox wired controller—and dive into GameFly Streaming packs of titles like Tomb Raider: Game of the Year Edition, Batman: Arkham Origins, F.E.A.R. 3, Darksiders, and Red Faction Armageddon.

The app will also feature Lego Batman 3, Pacman Championship Edition, and WRC4 for families.

LG did not reveal pricing except to say the app will be available for a "low monthly price." GameFly Streaming launched on Amazon Fire TV in June 2015 with six different game packs starting at $6.99 a month for seven games; a larger 16-pack cost $9.99 per month. It's also available on Samsung smart TVs in the U.S.

"The addition of GameFly to…LG Smart TVs further enhances the LG Smart TV experience," David VanderWaal, LG's vice president of marketing, said in a statement. "LG Smart TV owners will have the ability to stream high-quality video games right to their TV and enjoy a next-gen console-like experience in the comfort of their home."
